O’Malley: I Was Just Trying To Protect The Migrants From My Racist Constituents

It’s not that Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley doesn’t want the child migrants in Maryland — he was just trying to protect them from his racist constituents.

O’Malley, who’s been a vocal critic of the Obama administration for its efforts to return the migrant children to their home countries, came under fire this week when a conversation was leaked in which he asked a top White House adviser not to send any of the migrants to his state.

“Please don’t send these kids to western Maryland,” he told White House domestic policy adviser Cecilia Munoz on Friday.

O’Malley, who is seriously considering a run for the presidency in 2016, said his fears were confirmed when graffiti reading “No illeagles here. No undocumented Democrats” was found on the potential site.

“I think every governor and every mayor in America, and every American citizen, has some responsibility and role to play here,” he said Wednesday. “It’s who we are as a people.”
